™ BATTALION y—'7.r ’~r" 'fA-f? Number 72: Volume 58 Published Daily on the Texas A&M College Campus COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1959 Price Five Cents Corps Grades Show Rise; Overall GPR Set at 1.38 2,872 Students Remain in Corps By JOHNNY JOHNSON Battalion News Editor Corps of Cadets’ grades are higher for the 1958 fall semester compared with the same period last year, Corps Scholastic Officer Bill Myers told unit scholastic officers Friday. Data was compiled by Myers from unofficial reports of unit scholastic officers totaled at wing and regiment levels. The Corps had an overall grade point ratio of 1.38 com- pared with the 1.282 posted for the fall semester, 1957-58. Figures were measured against the hours and grade points accumulated by 2,872 cadets completing the fall semes- ter this year. There were 2,850 cadets in the same period last year, Myers said. Also present at the meeting^ were Vice President Earl Rud-1 der, Dean of the College John B. Page and Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant. Vice President Rudder expressed appreciation for the work done by scholastic officers and faculty ad- visers in raising the Corps’ grades. The scholastic report indicated that 36.28 per cent of the entire Corps—1,012 men—failed one or more courses. This compared with 40.77 per cent who failed one or more courses for the same period last year, Myers told the group. Only 25.69 per cent—737 men— posted below a 1.00 GPR this fall as compared with the 31.54 per cent—900 cadets—who were under 1.00 last year. Broken down on the wing and regiment level, the 2nd Regiment was tops in the Corps with a 1.47, followed by the Band with a 1.46. The 1st Wing was next with a 1.37, the 2nd Wing had a 1.35 and the 1st Regiment posted 1.28. After several minutes of discus- sion the scholastic officers voted unanimously to place a picture of the faculty scholastic advisor on the individual units’ page of The Aggieland. The Vice President told the group that faculty advisors would he honored during Spring Military Day activities. A&M to Offer Top Degrees In Nuclear Study Within the next few years A&M should have a Department of Nu- clear Engineering that will serve as a center of education in that field for the whole Southwest, Col- lege Station Lions were told yes- terday. John D. Randall, formerly of the University of California nu- clear engineering school who came to A&M last fall to help estab- lish a department here, told the Lions that a search was now un- derway for a man to head the department which will open its doors next fall. Courses in the nuclear engineer- ing department will be taught on- ly on the graduate level, Randall said, with degrees to be offerad on the M.S. and Ph.D., levels in nuclear engineering. A&M will be the only school in the Southwest to offer nuclear engineering de- grees on this level, he added. Students with a degree in most of the engineering and physics fields will be eligible for admis- sion to the department, he said.

Dr. Ernest Remley in his second speech of Re- ligious Week series this morning. He commented that the Old Testament says three important things about man—first, that he is created in the image of God; sec- ond, that he has dictated that im- age; and third, it is God’s will to restore man if man is willing to obey and trust God. Dr. Remley added that the New Testament adds to these insights the revelation of true manhood as God would have it seen in the life of Jesus Christ. “Follow Christ in Trust” “The New Testament goes on to say we are to follow Christ in trust toward His kind of manhood and assures us that if wTe will dare to undertake such an adventure, God will strengthen us,” said Dr. Rem- ley. The history of the Christian church, said Dr. Remley, makes it quite evident that God means what He says through Christ. Those who have dared to give themselves to Christ in trust and to follow the way of the cross, have not com- plained at the end of life of being deceived by the Mastery he added.

Students also said they did not like the punishment for an honor yiolaton.

Four Dimensions in Life He said said life had four di- mensions—length, breadth, depth and height. Length, he said, is the certain amount of time we have to make our choices. He said although it is sometimes brief, it is not in- significant. “Jesus lived only 33 years,” he pointed out. Breadth is measured by our sensitiveness to the pain of others, Dr. Remley said. “Jesus could deal will all kinds and conditions of men—children loved Him, He was asked to speak to society, He made lowly men prophets and He could speak intelligently to a thief just before His death.” Like Icebergs Dr. Remley said depth in our lives waS like an iceberg in the Labrador current. He showed how the berg moving slowly south in spite of the lashing waves on the surface was like a man following the paths of God in spite of the temptations and anxieties of life. He said nine-tenths of the iceberg was under water and that this was the way we should be immersed in God’s way. The speaker made his last point by saying we can not tell by the superficial activity of a man what his real life is like, that is, his aspirations and dreams. Only the man himself knows his height.

A&M to Offer Top Degrees In Nuclear Study
Within the next few years A&M should have a Department of Nuclear Engineering that will serve as a center of education in that field for the whole Southwest, College Station Lions were told yesterday.
John D. Randall, formerly of the University of California nuclear engineering school who came to A&M last fall to help establish a department here, told the Lions that a search was now underway for a man to head the department which will open its doors next fall.

Seniors May Wear Civilian Clothes When Off-Campus
Cadet first classmen have been authorized ta wear civilian clothing for “unofficial, off-campus” activities after retreat each day, Don Cloud, Corps commander, said yesterday in a commanders’ meeting.
Cloud said regulations had been changed to allow the seniors to wear “civvies” because of the fine job they had done during the first semester.
“I hope the senior class will look upon this as something to .guard and will continue to do a good job,” Cloud told the commanders.
The commandant of the Corps hastened to warn seniors that with the additional “privilege” of wearing civilian clothing would come strict enforcement of habitual wearing of the uniform on the campus during class hours, as required by A&M’s Military College rating.
New regulations on senior uniform read as follows:
• First classmen will habitually wear the uniform on the campus.
• “On the campus” shall include the regularly defined college property as well as adjacent shopping areas (North Gate, South Gate, etc).
• Seniors will be authorized to wear civilian clothing for “unofficial, off-campus” activities after retreat each day. (From 1820 hrs. until 0700 hrs.)
• Seniors leaving the campus on weekends may do so in civilian clothing as in the past. Otherwise, uniforms will be worn during weekends, except for off-campus activities after retreat.
